On the ground, everyone, including Mr. Jiang, held their binoculars high and watched the pilot making various movements in the air.
Every time he succeeds, the people below can't help but exclaim in exclamation!
Even Mr. Jiang, Mr. Yang and others who were not very knowledgeable about technology could see that the fighter plane built by Liaoshen Aircraft Factory was unusual. After all, it could perform thrilling maneuvers that other domestic fighter planes would not dare to do.
Just as everyone was staring at the sky nervously, the pilot's exclamation suddenly came from the loudspeaker on the side: "Oh my God...it's actually 280 kilometers..."
Many people below were confused by the sudden exclamation, what's 280 kilometers?
But Zhou Yang and Gu Zhenhua on the viewing platform looked at each other and smiled. It must be that the pilot tested the radar performance of the aircraft.
Their radar has a frontal search range of about 300 kilometers. It can be said to be the most advanced pulse Doppler radar in the world. No wonder the pilots were so surprised!
The person in charge of the Air Force on the ground immediately picked up the microphone and contacted the pilot: "Dongyao...Dongyao...please reply if you hear me?"
"I am Dongyao...I am Dongyao!" The pilot's voice came clearly from the loudspeaker.
"Dongyao, how do you feel now?"
"Report: I feel very good now, very good. This fighter is really good..."
Hearing the pilot's series of exclamations, all the leaders on the ground were surprised.
"Dongyao: Report the test data!"
Just as everyone was waiting for the pilot's report, the sound coming from the loudspeaker shocked everyone present again!
"Report: Since the test data is too good, please report again after landing!"
Apparently the pilots had a strong sense of confidentiality and did not publicly report the aircraft's data.
Zhou Yang on the side, after hearing the pilot's words, somehow thought of a saying that the military industry department would often say decades later: "It's too advanced to be displayed!"
The person in charge of the Air Force was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Dongyao, continue the test!"
"yes..."
The test lasted for more than an hour before the pilot requested to land!
After the fighter jet landed smoothly on the runway, the test was finally over.
Subsequently, under the leadership of Director Zou, all leaders and technical backbones came to the conference room of the aircraft factory to summarize the first flight and the temporarily added tests.
Soon, the conference room of Liaoshen Aircraft Factory was packed!
Mr. Jiang, Mr. Yang, Mr. Zhang and others sat at the main seats. Director Zou, Mr. Nie, Gu Zhenhua, Zhou Yang, plus several officers from the Air Force sat on both sides of the circular conference table.
After everyone was seated, Mr. Jiang looked at the ace pilot of the Air Force and said, "Comrade pilot, tell me what you think of the fighter plane just now!"
The pilot did not hesitate and said directly: "Reporting to the commander, through my tests, this fighter aircraft has excellent performance in all aspects. Its maneuverability and flexibility in the air have exceeded my expectations, far exceeding the current level." Any domestic fighter jet!"
"What is particularly important is that the maximum flight speed is Mach 1.9 and the cruising speed can reach Mach 0.8. The performance of the aircraft's radar system is beyond imagination. Not only does the search range far exceed any radar I know of so far, but it also has Based on my many years of flying experience, the overall performance of this fighter is close to or has reached the level of third-generation foreign fighters!"
"Buzz!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room exploded!
The concept of third-generation fighters has been proposed for some years. Countries around the world are clamoring to study third-generation fighters. However, currently only the F-15 of the Thief Eagle is actually in service. In addition, such as the Woolly Bear Alliance or John Bull and Gaul. Chickens haven't been studied yet.
It can be seen that this third-generation fighter is indeed not easy to handle!
So after hearing the pilot's comments, everyone's first reaction was that it was impossible.
"It's unlikely. How can a third-generation fighter do this? Did the pilot make a mistake?"
"I also think it's impossible. It seems that the Furry Bear Alliance doesn't have third-generation fighters. How can we create one?"
"Who says it's not the case? The thrust of the engine is not enough. Where can we get a third-generation fighter..."
At this moment, the person in charge of the Air Force stood up and asked in a deep voice: "Comrade Gong Lidong, are you sure this fighter is really as good as you say?"
"Reporting to the leader, I guarantee with the honor of a soldier that that fighter is indeed far superior to any fighter we currently have in service!"
"Can't the J-7 be the same?"
"no!"
For a moment, the person in charge of the Air Force was also stunned, not knowing what to say.
At this time, Mr. Jiang, who was in the main seat, fixed his gaze on Zhou Yang.
He still clearly remembered what Zhou Yang said when he met him last year. At that time, the boy clearly told him that he wanted to build a third-generation machine.
At that time, he thought this young man was bragging, but he didn't expect that in less than half a year, they would actually produce a third-generation mobile phone. This really gave him a big surprise.
"Comrade Zhou Yang, please tell me whether this fighter aircraft meets the standards of third-generation aircraft!"
Hearing Mr. Jiang's words, many people in the conference room were stunned, especially the air force officers.
They all know that this fighter jet was developed by Liaoshen Aircraft Factory, and the chief designer is Gu Zhenhua. Such a question should be asked to Gu Zhenhua, why would he ask this young man in front of him.
In the astonished eyes of everyone, Zhou Yang stood up.
He coughed lightly, and then said: "Judging from various data, this fighter cannot be regarded as a third-generation fighter, it can only be said to be a quasi-third-generation fighter!"
"Quasi third generation?"
"Yes, according to Western standards, third-generation aircraft must have high maneuverability. The aircraft's thrust-to-weight ratio is required to be greater than 1.0, and the aircraft is required to be able to rise vertically. The aircraft's maximum flight M=2.1~2.3, cruise M=0.8, and combat radius=800 ~2000km.”
Then Zhou Yang continued: "However, due to the engine, the thrust-to-weight ratio and maximum flight speed of our fighter jet are lower than the standard, but the performance of our radar system is much higher than that of ordinary fighters, which can make up for some of the shortcomings."
"So overall, the performance of this fighter is better than that of ordinary second-generation aircraft. It is also capable of fighting against third-generation aircraft, but it is not sure of victory. It can only be regarded as a quasi-third-generation aircraft."
In fact, when he said this, Zhou Yang still felt a little guilty.
Because the standards he was talking about were before 2005. After 2005, countries around the world redefined the standards for third-generation aircraft, requiring fighter aircraft to adopt better designed swept wings, variable swept wings or delta wings, or trapezoidal airfoils. Using a high-thrust turbojet engine, the speed reaches or exceeds 2 times the speed of sound, and the flight height can exceed 20,000 meters. The weapons are mainly air-to-air missiles, supplemented by aerial guns, and also have requirements for the avionics system.
If we look at it according to this standard, the J-8 fighter cannot even reach the edge of third-generation fighters.
"Comrade Zhou Yang, in your opinion, has this fighter aircraft reached the standard for deployment in the army?" Mr. Jiang asked again.
"As a transitional model, it is definitely enough!"
Hearing this, everyone in the conference room was stunned.
Even if this fighter does not meet the standards of a true third-generation fighter, it is already very powerful. Even if the J-9 fighter under development is successfully developed, its performance may not reach this level.
Therefore, in everyone's mind, this fighter aircraft will be the main model in China in the future!
Why did it turn into a transitional model in Zhou Yang's eyes?
"It seems that our Comrade Xiao Zhou is still not satisfied with the performance of this fighter. I don't know what kind of fighter can become our main fighter!" Mr. Jiang said with a smile.
"A true third-generation machine!"
Mr. Jiang's expression changed slightly, he stared at Zhou Yang and asked, "Are you sure about building a real third-generation machine?"
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhou Yang!
